I have a patient, he is a father.. He lives in the rectory. I spend about an hour with him every week. I teach him about his illness and how to control symptoms, etc… Yesterday I had to discharge him and I knew it would be the last time I ever saw him. He asked me to walk him across the street to the hospital, where he was to get a blood transfusion. He was so brave. I’m always in a rush and he always walks so slowly…. But yesterday I figured there was a reason why he asked me to walk him somewhere. So I decided to step out of my professional role and let him step into his role, and I asked him if God truly forgives us when we do something wrong. And he said yes. God loves us so much… He said we are human, so we will sin… But… If we are truly sorry god forgives. The problem he said- was that people don’t forgive themselves. and so they cause themselves a lot of unecessary grief. I guess that’s what the universe wanted me to hear yesterday that’s why it took so long to cross that street!!
THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT HARD
I WAS IN DESPAIR
I PRAYED FOR MY GOD
AND THEN HE WAS THERE
HERE’S ANOTHER ONE
HE SHOWED ME A DOOR
I OPENED IT UP
I WAS SAD NO MORE.
This is a WONDERFUL message, and REMINDER, that we all can truely start over,
many times I have been stuck in a rut in my life, and I wish I had this message to
remind me that I can”START OVER”
Thank you soooo much!!
with Love, and appreciation!
Starting over is never easy. When you know who you are “in” Christ, and the authority He has given us to walk out, we can have the confidence in Him that “all things will work out for the good…..” So we wait, we listen for Him and rest like a weaned child beside his Mother. AMEN
I saw this and the sentiments of starting over is part of God’s plan in the heart of
all, for He lives to redeem us, love us, and with each new day comes the new
love He has for us, He renews our love for Him. Replaces fear in our hearts with
His love. When I fail people in my life, it makes me sad. But then I remember that
I am a human being and that means that there is not anyone who is perfect but One.
That One is the reason I keep on going because I know He is with me each step of the way
wherever I am at the moment. I know there is pain in life and know that it is a fact, in this world we
will have trouble, but Jesus said to take courage because He has overcome the world. We can too. So don’t ever
give up Hope because it is all the good we have in this world. This world is truly not our home, Heaven is, and it will never feel like home here because God has set our hearts in eternity. We must keep our focus on today and live trust that God is giving us what we need and He will heal all our sorrow and pain if we let just let Him. Yes, I am sad I cannot talk to you now, and you know who you are, Hope is here and that is what will do. Now and every day that I miss you. Your friendship has been true. I am thank you and miss the emals you send. I thank you for your love you have given to me. I will think of you and pray for you and yours. Always. I will wait upon the Lord. I will wait to see if I will hear from you, but until then just know I love you, friend.
Sometimes when I try to talk to GOD, my mind wanders and I fight to go back to talking to GOD. I know who
is trying to distract me and I fight all the harder to go back to talking to GOD and I know that GOD knows what
is going on also. DO NOT GIVE UP… go right back to GOD and talk to Him again. I say, sorry GOD, here I am
again… then continue to talk to GOD… Victory won !!!
Blessings… Elizabeth W.

My life has been a series of going along the wrong paths with a lot of unhappiness and pain; and when I ask God why this has happened, He never answers or shows me the right path to take. I love God and Jesus and am glad to know that God loves me, but I pray all the time and nothing happens! I have not given up, but what does it mean to start over?
Thank you GOD… I have listened to your words of encouragement… A lesson well learned… Yes, I will try to remember them… Thank you GOD, just what I needed, of course you knew all the time… thank you again…

When everything is not happening according to our interest we have to start over some other way to fulfil our desire! Surely a lot can be done still!
